Real-time geofencing in ArcGIS Velocity<\/p>\n

One of the most common use cases in real-time spatial analytics is geofencing: determining when an asset you\u2019re tracking<\/a> shares a spatial relationship with some geographic location. The most frequent example of this is when a moving asset such as a vehicle, airplane, or ship is inside \u2013 or outside \u2013 an area of interest such as a specified delivery area, restricted airspace, or designated shipping lane.<\/p>\n

While point-inside-polygon is perhaps the most common scenario, geofencing can leverage other types of geometries and spatial relationships. For instance, you may want to determine when a hurricane track forecast cone (represented as a moving polygon) intersects<\/em> a county (polygon) or transmission line (polyline), or if it contains<\/em> a hospital (point).<\/p>\n

In this blog, we\u2019ll explore some of the ways you can apply geofence detection using a real-time analytic<\/a> in ArcGIS Velocity<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The scenario<\/strong><\/p>\n

To convey these concepts, we\u2019ll explore a scenario in which we want to determine when a city bus is within a certain proximity to a bus stop. In this case, the buses are the tracked assets while the bus stops are the geofences. This kind of analysis is useful in workflows such as updating a city\u2019s transit dashboard with real-time information or alerting riders their bus is approaching. If the resulting data is stored, historical analysis can be performed later to gain insights, for example, into whether bus delays occur more often at some locations than at others.<\/p>\n

The data we\u2019ll be using is from two open source datasets available for the City of Charlotte, NC. The bus stop data is directly from the Charlotte Open Data Portal<\/a>, while the bus location observation data was captured from OpenMobilityData<\/a> and will be simulated back into Velocity . So let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n

Ingest the real-time feed<\/strong><\/p>\n

Velocity provides many ways to ingest real-time data using feeds<\/a>. For this scenario, we\u2019ve configured the Azure Event Hub<\/a> feed type and used it to ingest the bus location data obtained from OpenMobilityData. To enhance the data a bit, we added a route_pt_time<\/em> field to the data so each bus feature will have the current time. The schema of the data is illustrated below.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":843071,"id":843071,"title":"","filename":"confirm-schema.png","filesize":41509,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/confirm-schema.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-velocity\/real-time\/real-time-geofencing-in-arcgis-analytics-for-iot\/confirm-schema","alt":"","author":"30801","description":"","caption":"","name":"confirm-schema","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":842981,"date":"2020-04-29 13:30:56","modified":"2020-04-29 13:31:45","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1726,"height":709,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/confirm-schema-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/confirm-schema.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":191,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/confirm-schema.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":315,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/confirm-schema.png","large-width":1726,"large-height":709,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/confirm-schema-1536x631.png","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":631,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/confirm-schema.png","2048x2048-width":1726,"2048x2048-height":709,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/confirm-schema-826x339.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":339,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/confirm-schema.png","wide_image-width":1726,"wide_image-height":709}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Geofencing in a real-time analytic<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the Azure Event Hub feed ingesting the bus location data, we\u2019ll now use this feed in a real-time analytic<\/a> to spatially analyze the data as it\u2019s received. Real-time analytics support any number of use cases, allowing you to transform, enrich, analyze, and store incoming event data as well as take different kinds of actions on the data.<\/p>\n

The first step is to add our feed to a new real-time analytic.

Now we can add tools to the analytic to perform the geofencing. Multiple tools exist that support different types of geofencing. The Filter by Geometry<\/a> tool filters incoming data in a feed using a static data source as the geofences, emitting event data without any changes to the schema of the data.<\/p>\n

The Filter by Geometry tool is available in the Manage Data<\/strong> folder.

For this scenario, the data source will be the bus stops layer available on the Charlotte Open Data Portal at:<\/p>\n

https:\/\/gis.charlottenc.gov\/arcgis\/rest\/services\/CATS\/CATSMasterService\/MapServer\/0\/<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Since the geofences \u2013 the bus stops in this case \u2013 are point features, we\u2019ll not use inside<\/em> or intersects<\/em> as the spatial relationship like we would if these were polygon geofences. Rather, we\u2019ll filter the streaming data feed for any buses within a defined distance threshold of 10 meters to determine when any of the buses are in proximity to a bus stop.<\/p>\n

The spatial reference of both of these features is GCS WGS 1984, so near geodesic<\/em> is an appropriate choice for the Spatial relationship <\/strong>parameter. If we were working with projected data, you could choose the near planar<\/em> option. It\u2019s worth noting that the available spatial relationships in the Filter by Geometry tool, and any other Velocity tools that evaluate spatial relationships, is tailored to suit the incoming geometry types. In this case, the available spatial relationships are appropriate for comparing point geometries. The list excludes options such as crosses<\/em> or overlaps<\/em> which are available if comparing polygon geometries (read more about spatial relationships here<\/a>).

After saving the web map you can then add it to an ArcGIS Dashboard. For details on doing so, see Create a dashboard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Enrich the bus feed with geofence data<\/strong><\/p>\n

The attributes of the CharlotteBuses_at_Stops<\/strong> layer has the same attribute information as the CharlotteBuses<\/strong> layer from which it was generated. If your geofencing workflow requires you to enrich the incoming event data with attribute information from the geofences, you could use the Join Features<\/a> tool instead of the Filter by Geometry tool to enrich the streaming data.<\/p>\n

The Join Features tool joins geofence data, or join data, to the streaming data according to spatial, temporal, or attribute relationships, or any combination of these. Only event data that satisfies the join condition will pass through the tool. In this way, Join Features filters the streaming event data, but it can also enrich features with attributes from the join data.<\/p>\n

In this scenario, the Join Features tool will be used to enrich the bus locations with the StopID<\/em> and the address of the current bus stop.<\/p>\n

Note that, the Any<\/em> statistic type simply joins the value in the selected field(s) to any of the events that satisfy the spatial relationship. Join Features only supports 1:1 joins in a real-time analytic, so if the analysis could result in multiple geofences matching the incoming events, Any<\/em> is not an appropriate statistic to use. In this case, all the bus stops are more than 10 meters apart, so a bus\u2019s location would only join one bus stop at any given time.<\/p>\n

Summary and next steps<\/strong><\/p>\n

Time and again, geofencing has proven to be one of the most common types of analysis in real-time spatial workflows \u2013 understanding when and where assets interact with areas or locations of interest is powerful. Using Velocity , there\u2019s a myriad of ways to apply it to different use cases, from tracking personnel or vehicles and detecting patterns of interest at work sites to understanding when and where critical infrastructure will be impacted by a severe weather event. Performing real-time spatial analysis<\/a> empowers your organization with new insights, allowing you to make better and more informed decisions that will truly impact your operations.<\/p>\n
